It’s funny – Chevrolet intended the second-generation Camaro to be a more European (read: Italian)-flavored grand touring-type of car. We’d all agree nobody mistook an F-body for a Ferrari, despite Bill Mitchell’s best attempts. And that shows when you consider just how many Italians seemed to want to tinker with a second-gen; yeah, I can’t think of any off the top of my head either.

But thanks to Hugo90, member of the Hemmings Nation on Flickr and awesome photo collection owner, we see that Pietro Frua made an attempt to spruce up a Camaro in the mid-1970s (one source says 1974; another says 1976). Whether Chevrolet approached Pietro or Pietro took it upon himself to mod the Camaro also seems unanswered. But we do know it still exists and shows up at Concorso Italiano from time to time.

Now if only Pietro had built a station wagon version, then I’d be all over it like green on grass.
